Completely having kittens.. ..with Peter Frankenfeld



And again: Hello to a new issue of Completely having kittens at this little corner of blogland!


This is part of a meme hosted by Michelle @ THE TRUE BOOK ADDICT

Today I have a gentleman as my guest who is actually a German Telly legend and who is one of today's birthday boys: Peter Frankenfeld - the man who made the greatest TV-Shows and was famous for his chequered jackets. 




 He was the entertainer of German Telly since the 1950s to his early death at age 65 in 1979. 


After WWII - before his big career - he became an interpreter for American Government in Berlin.

When he married singer Lonny Kellner in 1956 (they stayed married until his death..)




his best man was boxer Max Schmeling


Well-- okay.. okay.. that's not what you came for.. 

You want a kitty? 

Here you have a kitty:

Peter Frankenfeld  - with a very little kitten..


*aaawwww* 

Thank you very much for listening!

Yours very, very well and truly

Irene

  5. I love the back story you always put with your pictures. I adore his jacket, and Lonny looks so beautiful. The kitty is cute, too.

    1. aww.. thank you, Kate! That's really good to hear - for I always feel like I am a brabbling idiot or something when I write those stories down.. The jacket is for sure.. uhm.. noteable.. And Lonny Kellner was so sweet! For she sang kind of pop songs (the real kitschy kind of love etc..) Peter Frankenfeld thought she must be an idiot the first time they met.. (He really loathed those songs..)
      Well.. it turned out to be one of the loveliest love stories of German show biz eventually..

      And about that kitty.. well.. I simply had to share that picture! :") Thank you so much for your comment!
